"Now, it is time to discuss one of the most unique features about water: water tension!

Water has a unique property known as Surface Tension. What does this mean?

The molecules of a liquid experience cohesive attractive forces from all directions

On the surface, molecules are drawn inward towards the water’s center

This means that the surface of water sticks holds together, similar to bouncing on a trampoline. The surface of water contracts like a stretched, elastic membrane. If an object is light enough, such as many species of bugs, it is possible to walk on top of water. Water density contributes to this as well."-
